Rolling papers

The Tyson 2.0 Unbleached King Size Wide is a king size rolling paper made from unprocessed, chlorine-free paper that delivers a slow, even burn without chemical aftertaste. Backed by Iron Mike's name and built for generous rolls, these wide-format papers give you room to pack a proper king size cone without fighting the material. At 110mm wide, they sit comfortably in that sweet spot between standard kings and the oversized novelty papers that waste half your herb.
Unbleached rolling papers skip the chlorine bleaching step that gives standard white papers their colour. That matters more than you might think. According to research published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, bleaching processes can release harmful chemicals into the material and surrounding environment (Robertson, 2013, via PMC6801293). When you're burning paper and inhaling the smoke, fewer processing chemicals between you and your herb is a straightforward win.
You'll notice the difference the moment you pull one from the booklet. The paper has a natural tan colour — not bright white, not dyed brown for show. It feels slightly textured between your fingers, with just enough grip to hold your roll together while you tuck. The taste? Practically nothing. That's the whole point. White papers can leave a faint papery note on the exhale; unbleached papers let the flavour of whatever you're smoking come through clean.
Research on commercially available rolling papers has also flagged concerns about heavy metals in some paper products. According to a 2024 study on elemental composition, tipping papers — the part of a cigarette that touches a smoker's lips — were found to contain trace heavy metals (PMC11064008). Choosing a reputable brand like Tyson 2.0 that uses unbleached, minimally processed paper is one way to reduce exposure to unwanted compounds.

Standard king size papers work fine for a solo smoke, but the moment you want to roll something with a bit of body — a cone for a session with mates, or just a fatter roll for a slow evening — you run out of width. You end up licking the edge of the paper, hoping the gum catches, and the whole thing canoes down one side because there wasn't enough material to seal properly. We've watched it happen a thousand times behind the counter since 1999.
The wide format on these Tyson 2.0 papers gives you roughly 10-12mm of extra width compared to standard kings. That doesn't sound like much on paper (literally), but it's the difference between a tight, frustrating roll and one that practically wraps itself. The extra width also means a more consistent burn — more paper overlap at the seam means fewer air gaps, which means fewer runs.
One honest note: these are slightly thicker than ultra-thin rice papers. If you're used to smoking something nearly transparent, you'll feel a touch more paper here. The trade-off is durability — they don't tear mid-roll, and they hold up in humid conditions where thinner papers go limp. For most smokers, that's a better deal.
Unbleached king size rolling papers consistently outperform their bleached counterparts in taste tests — not because they add flavour, but because they don't. Bleached papers undergo chlorine or calcium carbonate processing to achieve that white colour. According to research on paper packaging materials, bleaching has adverse environmental effects and leads to the release of harmful chemicals into waterways (PMC6801293). Those same chemicals leave trace residues in the paper itself.
| Feature | Unbleached (Tyson 2.0) | Standard Bleached |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Natural tan/brown | Bright white |
| Chemical Processing | Minimal — no chlorine | Chlorine or calcium carbonate bleach |
| Taste Impact | Neutral — herb flavour comes through | Can leave faint papery aftertaste |
| Burn Consistency | Slow, even | Varies by brand — often faster |
| Environmental Impact | Lower — fewer processing chemicals | Higher — bleaching effluent |
If you've been smoking bleached papers for years and never thought about it, you're not doing anything wrong. But once you switch to unbleached and smoke the same herb back to back, the difference in flavour clarity is noticeable. It's subtle — more like removing static from a song than changing the track entirely.
Complete your rolling setup with a solid grinder for an even, consistent grind — the Herb Grinder 4-Part is a reliable pick. Pair these papers with pre-made filter tips to save time and get a cleaner draw from the first puff to the last.
We've stocked rolling papers from dozens of brands over 25+ years, and the shift toward unbleached has been steady. Five years ago, maybe 1 in 10 customers specifically asked for unbleached. Now it's closer to 4 in 10. The Tyson 2.0 papers pull their weight in that category — they're not the thinnest papers we carry, and they're not trying to be. They're a reliable, no-fuss king size wide paper that rolls easily, burns slowly, and doesn't fall apart in your pocket. The best rolling paper for daily use is the one you don't have to think about, and these fit that description.
The Tyson 2.0 branding is a conversation starter, too. The booklet design is bold — you'll either love the heavyweight boxing aesthetic or find it a bit much. Either way, the paper inside is the same quality regardless of how you feel about Mike Tyson's face on your rolling kit.
They improve it, or more accurately, they stay out of the way. Unbleached papers don't introduce the faint chemical aftertaste that some bleached papers carry. The natural tan paper burns clean and lets your herb's terpene profile come through unaltered.
They're made from natural, unprocessed plant fibres with no chlorine bleaching. The gum line uses a natural adhesive. No dyes, no added chemicals — just paper in its minimally processed form.
Actually easier. The extra 10-12mm of width gives you more material to work with when tucking and sealing. Beginners especially benefit from the extra room. The only adjustment is using slightly more herb to fill the wider format properly.
A standard Tyson 2.0 King Size Wide booklet contains 32 leaves per pack. That's enough for a couple of weeks of regular use or a solid weekend session with friends.
Different, not necessarily better. Hemp papers tend to be thinner and burn slightly slower. Unbleached wood-pulp papers like these Tyson 2.0s are sturdier, easier to roll, and more forgiving in humid conditions. Pick based on your rolling style — if you tear thin papers often, unbleached is the safer bet.
Yes. King size wide papers work with most 110mm rolling machines. The extra width feeds through the rollers without bunching, and the natural gum seals cleanly with a single pass of moisture.
That's the natural colour of the plant fibre. White papers are brown papers that have been bleached with chlorine or similar chemicals. The tan colour of unbleached papers is proof of minimal processing — nothing has been added or stripped away.
